A Rising Tide Page #3

- Yeah, it took a beating during

the storm, but we rebuilt.

- Here you go.

- Oh, um, thanks.

- Coffee? Come on.

- Thank you for driving him.

- Yeah.

- Ah.

You should really try that.

It's Belvenie, thirty years old.

It's a limited edition.

- Oh.

- Oh?

- Yeah.

This is amazing, right?

- It's good.

- I am so hungry.

- Yeah?

- Are you hungry?

- So, one of my mentors

in culinary school

told me cuisine is the

mark of a healthy society.

Barbarians, Vikings, aren't

known for their food.

If you're focused on survival,

you only have time for,

for what's good enough.

But cuisine isn't about

what's good enough.

It's about how good can it be.

- You went to culinary school?

- New York.

- Oh, mmm, thank you.

Oh, my god.

I have had eggs like

a million times.

They've never been so soft.

- You outta open your own place.

- I did.

- You did, what happened?

- I'm workin' in

my Dad's kitchen,

what do you think happened?

- Well, you've got talent.

- In my experience, talent

and hard work rarely pay off.

Connections, capital

and willingness

to appeal to the lowest

common denominator?

Cha-ching.

Uh, thank you for the drink,

but I should probably go, I

got some friends waiting on me.

- Now, where you headed?

- The Clove.

- Can I come?

Hey!

- This is my friend,

Mister Blake.

- Hi, Tom.

Tom.

Nice to meet you.

How's it goin'?

Next round is on me.

You know you got me

goin' out of my mind

And I would take a

bullet for these fancy lies

You know you got me

goin' out of my mind

- Six shots.

- Yeah.

- I need money.

- How much?

- Uh, like, like, 30?

- No, no, no, hey, hey, hey!

Hey, hey, hey!

I got it!

- Alright.

What, what, hey!

What the hell are you doin'?

- Just zippin' up.

- Just get in the car.

Get in, get in, get in, get in!

- Hey, come back here.

- Bye.

This is a crazy f***ing city!

Yeah! Whoo!

- I haven't done

that in a long time.

- Make out with a

girl half your age?

- No, just go out and have

fun just for the hell of it.

People I like.

- I thought maybe that

girl at your house,

maybe you two had a...

- Charlie? No.

- Huh?

- It's all business with her.

She just stays at the

shore house during

the summer 'cause our

office is in Philly.

Most of the people I spend

time with are just business,

they're not my friends,

they're not my kind of people.

- Me and my "f***-wad"

friends are?

- More than you know.

- You went out

clubbing last night?

- Yeah, I did.

- It's time to leave for

work in a few minutes.

- Relax, Dad.

I'll be ready in a few minutes.

Just blowin' off a little steam.

It's not like I'm not

working hard, Dad.

Just trust me.

- Heard that before.
